Instruments and controls
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
- F (Full):
the fuel tank is full,
approximately 90 litres.
- E (Empty):
the reserve is now being
used, the warning light comes on
continuously.
The reserve when the warning first comes
on is approximately 11 litres.
Fuel tanks of different capacities (60 and
125 litres) are available as an option.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
The needle is positioned between C
(Cold) and H (Hot): normal operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations. - wait for the engine to cool down in
order to check the level and top it up
if necessary. Follow this advice: the
cooling system is pressurised. In order to
avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of chapter 7. What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone, or if the warning light
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition.
The fan may continue to operate for
a certain time up to approximately
10 minutes.
EMISSION CONTROL
EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis) is
a diagnostics system which complies with,
among others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrogen oxides) or particles, detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
Therefore, the driver is warned of any
malfunction of this emission control
system by the lighting of this speciic
warning light on the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

READY TO SET OFF
SERVICE INDICATOR
For a few seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbolising the
service indicator comes on: the display
informs you when the next service is due,
in accordance with the "Manufacturer's"
servicing schedule indicated in the servicing
booklet. This information is determined in
relation to the distance travelled since the
previous service.
LIGHTING RHEOSTAT
The rheostat is active when the lights are
on.
Refer to the list of checks in the
servicing booklet which was given to
you on delivery of the vehicle.
After a few seconds, the display returns to
its usual functions. Use these controls to adjust the
brightness of the instrument panel.
There are 8 setting levels.
Deterioration of the engine oil (100 and 120 bhp engines)
"Oil Life" or "Suit in Oil" function: your
vehicle's service interval is 24,000 miles
(40,000 km), in normal use.
However, the engine control unit tests the
degree of wear of the engine oil.
If your vehicle is used in arduous conditions
and consequently suffers engine oil
wear and if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment, you are warned by flashing of
the engine oil pressure warning
light and the displaying of a
message on the instrument panel
each time the vehicle is started.

In this case, your vehicle must be
serviced as soon as possible.

Gearboxes and steering wheel
MANUAL
To change gear easily, always press the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear
the internal components of the gearbox over
time.

engage reverse gear. Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce
the noise on engaging reverse gear.

Hill start assistance
This function, linked with the ESP, makes
starting on a hill easier and is activated in
the following conditions:
- the vehicle must be stationary, with the
engine running,
- the gradient of the road must be greater than 5 %, With the brake pedal pressed and the clutch
pedal pressed, when you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
without rolling back and without using the
handbrake within which to move off.
